Good morning Ms. Mayor and City Council members,
My name is Courtney Marchi and I am a resident of San Luis Obispo, CA, 93405.
We do not need to expand any police funds, services, or departments. They create more problems and trust issues than
solve any crimes. It is a waste of time, energy, and money, and blatant disrespect and harm towards marginalized
communities. Police reform, body cameras, and LRAD are not the answers.
We need strong and healthy community members if we ever want to be a strong and healthy and prosperous
community. Divesting from police and police reform is a major way to approach that. Our black and brown residents
need help and we have the power, resources, and ability to help them.
Actively Supporting police and siding with the economy over people during this pandemic is harmful, dangerous, and
genocidal. Do your part to save your people.
Listen to the public- the voices not up on pedestals, the voices of people that do not look like you. Support the demands
local political organizations are calling for (Abolitionist Actions of the Central Coast).
We will not stop until we get justice.
Thank you.
